Where to donate clothes?

Zascar

I've just done a clearout and have a huge bunch of clothes to get rid of - I don't want to throw them out I want to donate them to a cause who can make money. Where should I bring them?

There's a Vincent de Paul shop in Firhouse shopping centre, another one in Tallaght village.

There's a variety of charity clothes bins just next to the Stadium in Tallaght, opposite the entrance to Woodies car park.

There's Mrs Greenes in Templeogue village.

There's the Women's Refuge in Rathmines.

The three genuine charities who shove bags though my letterbox every so often for collection (usually in in two days time) are Barnardos, Irish Cancer Society and Enable Ireland (formerly Cerebral Palsy Ireland). If you have a large amount of good quality clothing and have it bagged, ring one of them and ask them if they'd be interested in collecting them. They definitely do have vans collecting bags every so often on the southside so perhaps if they're doing a collection in your area some time soon, they might swing by your place for a one-off collection by arrangement.

I'm not sure if all of the charity shops accept donations, I think some of them prefer to sort the stuff in a depot and from there distribute it to the shops as needed. If you arrive at a shop with several bags of clothes, they may not have the space to sort it, nor the shelf/hanger space to put it on display. I'd be fairly sure they'd prefer if you arranged to have it collected.
